The Expectant Father: The Ultimate Guide for Dads-to-Be: 12 (The New Father, 1)

Product Information

This was a pretty comprehensive book. I feel much more equipped with what to expect, and learned a lot of useful tips. When you’re having a baby, almost everyone whose had one has some advice for you, whether you want it or not. Unfortunately, it’s still considered rude in our society to tell those people to shut up. The earliest paternity leave can start is the date the child is born. If necessary, you can use the emergency right to unpaid time off for dependants to make sure you are there for the labour and birth.

The book begins with an overview of the anatomy and physiology of childbirth, explaining the changes that occur during each stage of labor. Simkin also provides information on the different types of births, including natural, medicated, and cesarean deliveries, allowing expectant fathers to make informed decisions about their partner’s birth preferences. So we've got a baby due in the heat of summer.

All you really need when you read a book like this is an author with experience, which breeds knowledge and any expectant dad can stand to listen a man who has these two things when it comes to newborn infants.

Brott dispenses some good advice and also brings up things I wouldn't have considered. He also jabbed me in the chest and reminded me how much stuff my wife and I still have to buy before Miles arrives. Fingers crossed for that 7/31 delivery date!If you are expecting a child on or after 5 April 2015 you may be able to use Shared Parental Leave (SPL) to take more time off work in the first year to care for your child if your partner agrees to bring her maternity leave and pay to an early end. The maximum amount of leave that you could take is 50 weeks because your partner’s entitlement to maternity leave is 52 weeks and two of those weeks are compulsory so cannot be converted into SPL. The maximum amount of pay you could claim is 37 weeks (39 weeks’ Statutory Maternity Pay or Maternity Allowance minus the two compulsory weeks of maternity leave). ShPP is paid at the same flat rate (or 90 per cent of your normal earnings if that is lower) as statutory paternity pay. As well as paternity leave which is restricted to the time of the birth and Shared Parental Leave which is restricted to the first year of a child’s life, many working parents also qualify for unpaid parental leave. So, it’s the big day.

All employees have this right from day one. Agency workers qualify for this right if they have been in the same role for the same hirer for 12 weeks or more.

Under the basic right, you can’t take more than four weeks’ parental leave a year for each child (if you have two children the maximum amount would be eight weeks’ leave a year). However, your employer may vary this. I wish there was more information about some of the studies discussed. The references are dropped in without discussion of methods or limitations, which makes them sound like settled fact (unlikely from a single study). There were a few weird commentaries that seemed like unnecessary jabs and a few topics that didn't seem quite right.
